Lino Lakes Main Street - AUAR 86 August 2025 Resource Area Mitigation Historic Resources Scenario 1 and 2: If a federal nexus is identified during preparation of project permits (if a U.S. Army Corps of Engineer permit is required due to impacts to regulated wetlands), a Phase I Archaeological Assessment may be necessary. Scenario 1 and 2: If human remains are recovered at any time during archaeological investigation or development, all activities must stop and consultation initiated with the Office of the State Archaeologist and Minnesota Indian Affairs Council. Visual Scenario 1 and 2: Guidance from the USFWS to minimize blue light, uplight, and backlight will be adhered to the extent practicable. Air Scenario 1 and 2: Construction will generate temporary fugitive dust emissions. These emissions will be controlled by sweeping or watering as appropriate or as prevailing weather and soil conditions dictate. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions/Car bon Footprint Scenario 1 and 2: To limit GHG emissions/carbon footprint, developers should consider the following measures: • Use energy efficient appliances, equipment, and lighting • Use energy efficient building shells • Encourage the use of the use of alternative modes of transportation to and from the project through site design • Implement waste best management practices and to recycle and compost appropriate material when applicable • Utilize on-site landscaping will absorb water • Consider trees and tree trenches, and additional landscaping will be planted to improve local air quality, absorb greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce local urban heat island effect • Construct buildings with rooftop-ready infrastructure for solar power generation • Provide electric vehicle ready charging infrastructure Noise Scenario 1 and 2: Construction activities may result in temporarily elevated noise levels. The City of Lino Lakes Code of Ordinances regulates both the hours of operation for construction equipment and allowable noise levels. Construction of the proposed project would comply with these requirements. Transportation Scenario 1 and 2: Create a monitoring program that closely evaluates traffic impacts from proposed developments within the AUAR area and implement traffic mitigation measures as development occurs within the AUAR area. Scenario 1 and 2: Prioritize alternative travel modes within the AUAR study area and require project proposers to address alternative travel modes (e.g., bicyclists and pedestrians) by identifying appropriate accommodations. Scenario 1 and 2: Require that site plans for each of the developments include measures such as appropriate setback distances, earthen berms, noise walls, and appropriate site design to reduce the impact of traffic noise to residential areas. Scenario 1 and 2: Achieve effective traffic operations within the city by requiring that site plans make use of access management practices to promote safe, effective traffic flow. Scenario 1 and 2: Require project proposers to follow the Anoka County Highway Department Development Review Process Manual. Lino Lakes Main Street - AUAR 87 August 2025 Resource Area Mitigation Scenario 1 and 2: Continue to coordinate capital improvement programming with applicable transportation authorities. Scenario 1 and 2: The improvements are intended to represent the minimum level of infrastructure investment that would be needed to meet acceptable level of service standards. Additional roadway and non-motorized improvements, beyond the minimum level, may be identified to accommodate specific development needs that are identified within the AUAR area. Primary improvements, regardless of land use scenario, include: Opening Year (2030) No-Build Conditions • No recommended mitigation (beyond planned improvements) Opening Year (2030) Scenario 1 Conditions • Install side street stop control at the site access points. • Install right turn lanes at all access points along Sunset Avenue & Main Street. • Install a roundabout at any full-access point along Main Street (Access C) • While not required based on the traffic operations results, it is recommended to connect Robinson Drive to 4th Avenue (Access E) to improve connectivity. Transportation Opening Year (2030) Scenario 2 Conditions • Install side street stop control at all right-in/right-out site access points. • Install right turn lanes at all access points along Sunset Avenue & Main Street. • Install a roundabout at any full-access point along Main Street (Access C) • While not required based on the traffic operations results, it is recommended to connect Robinson Drive to 4th Avenue (Access E) to improve connectivity. Design Year (2045) No-Build Conditions • No recommended mitigation (beyond planned improvements) Design Year (2045) Scenario 1 Conditions • All Opening Year (2030) Scenario 1 Conditions • Install side street stop control at all access points along 4th Avenue and Pine Street. • Extend Century Trail north to Main Street to accommodate traffic north of Robinson Drive. • Install southbound right turn lanes at 4th Avenue & Access E (south of Main Street) • Install northbound left turn lanes at access points on 4th Avenue north of Main Street (Access F and Access G). • Expand Main Street to a four-lane road west of Lake Drive o Includes expanding roundabouts at Sunset Avenue and Access C to 2x1 roundabouts. • Install a 2x1 roundabout at Main Street & 4th Avenue • Expand Main Street & Lake Drive roundabout to accommodate northbound left-turn traffic. o The roundabout is anticipated to require two northbound entry lanes, two exit lanes on the west leg, and a bypass lane for the eastbound approach.
